Peter,

I think the existence of formulas that redirect money, so that the low wage earners receive benefits out of proportion to mid and high earners is another reason why Dems are so much against any reform. Reform risks that it will be revealed to the country that SS is partly a welfare scheme.

The greater percentage of SS taxes is diverted to private accounts the more glaring the "welfare" element of the SS will become. Dems love welfare, but are unable to state it publicly and win, so they depend on deception to advance their agenda.
